Goodness! That was quick! Just eleven days have passed since the last update and now the number of games in the database exceeds 6,100. Many thanks to the Industrious Half-Dozen.

I understand surprisingly complex commands. I also understand most reasonable abbreviations. For example, to walk east you can type "walk east", "east", or "e".
Good Luck!

MS-DOS Version: November 17, 1988
(Written in ADVSYS. It is the sample game in the AdvSys manual.)
Additional (partial?) PC versions were written using Alan, Hugo and TADS in 1996/7.
A PAWS/Universe version, written with Roger's own Python Adventure Writing System, was produced first in 1998 and then deemed complete by the author in 2007. The final version produced by Roger Plowman was dated 2008.
Note: The game was renamed Thief's Quest in 1996 to avoid confusion with other games and adventure systems called Quest.
The Python Adventure Writing System version has been updated by Matthias C. Hormann so it runs under the PAWS 2.1 environment.
